Todd Schultzsounds like an interesting idea to me. I probably could not afford to do much more than attend and preview, but it seems worthwhile to me, especially if charity was involved and more of the hobby's gems were up on display, whether or not they were up for auction. I am certain that there is a great deal of simply wonderous material in the hands of collectors who infrequent or even avoid auctions. If by chance they feel more comfortable with an upscale, cosmopolitan setting and would prefer to participate there rather than elsewhere, so be it. If not, then the event will be a bust that's either scrapped or modified. Personally, I have no problem using such an event as an excuse to go to New York.
